Materials where electrons show nearly localized rather than
itinerant behaviour, such as the high-temperature superconducting
copper oxides, or manganate oxides, are attracting tremendous
interest due to their interesting physical properties and potential
applications. For these materials, the interaction between
electrons, or electron correlation, plays an important role in
describing their electronic structure, and the standard methods for
the calculation of their electronic spectra based on the local
density approximation (LDA) breakdown. This book is an attempt to
describe the electronic structure of narrow-band materials. It
provides a comprehensive introduction to the methods of LDA+U, the
GW approximation, the local spin density approximation, the
self-interaction correction approximation, and the optimized
effective potential method, and should be a useful source for
graduate students and researchers working in all aspects of solid
state physics.
